  • Patent number: 9034350
    Abstract: A post-foaming cleansing composition comprises at least one anionic surfactant, at least one non-ionic gelling agent and at least one post-foaming agent. The ratio of anionic surfactant:non-ionic gelling agent is 4:1 or greater such that during manufacture a gel structure is formed. The gel structure remains substantially unchanged for at least 4 minutes after the addition of the said post-foaming agent to the remainder of the composition.

  • Patent number: 7939480
    Abstract: A post-foaming personal cleaning composition in the form of a gel for use in an aerosol container. This composition includes a base material of a surfactant in an amount not less than 7 % by weight and a thickener that is a blend of at least one of glyceryl ester, and a glyceryl ester derivative with at least one of a betaine and a gum. The base material preferably has a viscosity greater than 9,500 cps. The composition also includes a foam forming material, above 9 % by weight of the composition with at least a part of the foam forming material being maintained in suspension in the composition until after the composition is dispensed from the aerosol container. The foam forming material is preferably a saturated aliphatic hydrocarbon having from 4 to 5 carbons and the composition is in the form of a gel prior to inclusion of the foam forming material.

  • Publication number: 20040009885
    Abstract: A packaged cleaning composition comprising a surfactant, an aqueous acid component and an aqueous alkaline component, the acid and alkali components being provided in separate compartments within the package. On dispensing from the package the acid and alkali react together creating carbon dioxide gas which acts upon the surfactant to create a lather. The acid component is buffered to a pH ranging from 2 to 6.

  • Patent number: 5804546
    Abstract: A cleaning composition consists of a surfactant and two components for example an acid and a carbonate or bicarbonate. When the two components are mixed together a gas is generated which acts on the surfactant to create a lather. The composition may be disposed in a package having two containers one for each component.
